Hi Ceri,
Great to hear back from you!
Here's what I've now placed in root crontab for ndc:
# Start ndc on reboot
@reboot /bin/ln -sf /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc /var/run/ndc
=20
So from what I now understand, I can simply run:
"ln -sf /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc /var/run/ndc" and ndc status should
return some meaningful information?
Thanks again, Ceri.
Stacey
